This game is a buggy mess put together with chewing gum and edge. But there's something about it. Few things go as hard as Fear & Hunger while still maintaining a degree of respectability. This game is rich in obscure content, and if you're willing to devote time to it, you will find something more than rewarding for your efforts. This game is transparently unfair to you, and you have to love how the primary solutions are to be unfair back. Beyond that though, the game captures a level of tension and uncertainty that legitimately keeps me up at night if I think to hard about it, and I think that's the hallmark of any good horror game. If you can bear with obtuse mechanics and player unfriendly design, I think there's a lot to love about Fear & Hunger, and I'd strongly recommend both this and Termina to anyone who can vibe with them.
